Yeah, use a highly compressed, low bitrate YouTube video to show off picture and sound quality. That's a good idea... *facepalm*

There was a bit there in the middle where the robot seemed to get into it's own thing, which, as far as I know, really kinda killed the piano part :P

Still, most of it as very impressive, I'd like to see it move away from jazz, and do pure classical, though.

i think it might be because of the predictable scales in jass that makes the robot able to work, if this was classical it would simply play the tune from a stored list like a midi sequence, where as this is improvising based on what is being played on the piano.

Maybe so, still, otherr genres would be nice to see. I know of software that can compose piano pieces for classical play.

I imagine the hardest to do would be modern rock.

very true, also i would love to see the robot compose something entirely on its own. just tell it what notes sound good together, and what timing sounds good together and let it run.
